Those red mats that are holding on is more than likely algae if it is hard to remove with a toothbrush.I have started dosing h2o2 after reading this thread,thanks for al, of the work.I'm starting to notice bubbles on my rock that weren't there before dosing,is this expected?also have two or three areas of red mats that are really attached to the rock,even using a toothbrush doesn't help much,would this be more likely spirulina?
Started my peroxide dosing tonight. I'll let you know how it goes. [emoji85]
To start your dosing should be 14ml to begin with every 12 hours.140 gal total volume,dosing 12 ml of h2o2 into overflow tonight is day 2

You should already be seeing some changes in your mats. At the proper dosage I have not experimented on lower volumes of H2O2 if you figure 1 mil per 10 gallons has a large effect on bacteria in a system where is that threshold to where its no longer effective. Also insure that you are not feeding the bacteria. And lets get a pic of the tank with higher whites so I might be able to get a better understanding of what you are looking at.Well I'm on the 4th day and haven't seen any changes yet with the Cyano I've dosed 6 times so far. So once Thursday night when I started twice Friday and Saturday and once so far today. When should I start seeing this stuff go away?
Here is some pics of what it looks like as of today. I'll keep dosing and keep updating pics.
Looks like how mine was. I vote spirulina. I would send a sample to Todd because it could be Dino's also.Here's a pic
Is spirulina a nuisance?will it overtake?
